Sister Sprouse and I got to see so many miracles happen this week :) Everyday is a miracles the more and more I think about it. Just the small and simple things are what matter most in life. We had an awesome lesson with Ana Castro, our newly baptized stud, and she is soooo strong. Her mom who was very against the church has softened her heart so much that instead of finding Ana's Book of Mormon and hiding it somewhere else, she actually opened it up and tried to read it!! But the poor thing actually can't read German because she is from Portugal. But this all started when Ana showed her General Conference and watched Elder Holland's talk "The Great and First Commandment" when he perfectly explains the scripture story about Peter and Jesus Christ. It is amazing!! If you have time I really recommend to watch it. So now we have an opportunity to take over a Portuguese Book of Mormon and explain what it is :) And so now Ana's mom and enjoy it and to read it and feel God's love :) This week also we haven't had any contact with Petra Henn who is an amazing woman and we have been worried about her a little bit. Two weeks in missionary life of not seeing someone is a long time haha but out of no where last night, she calls us up and says she wants to meet and that she has been thinking about us and so we made an appointment this week :) I love when people call us, it makes everything so much easier! Our main couple that are from Poland right now are so awesome! They come every week to church and they just love having us over. They live in a garden and since it is fall, all the apple trees that they have needed to be plucked. So they sent the elders up on ladders to pluck them and we reaped the benefit of it :) We have had so much apples in the past month you would think I would be tired of them but really we are just getting super creative with them :) If you have any apple recipes please send them to Germany!! We actually made our own apple juice, apple sauce, and own grape juice!! The things you learn on the mission haha I love it!! New news!! We were sitting in Sacrament Meeting in church and we see our new Romanian members that moved in about a month ago sit down. But the coolest part about it was that they brought their neighbors/friends!! One of them speaks Spanish and he told us through Google Translate! That his entire family from Romania is moving to Dortmund and since he loved the atmosphere at our church he wants his whole family (all 31 of them) to be a part of our church. They are moving in next week!! Oh boy here we go!! I am so grateful for this work and the constant miracles that we receive :) I love our Heavenly Father and our Brother Jesus Christ more and more everyday!! I love you all so much!! Stay strong :) Liebe, Sister Tuschling Also funny point, last monday running for a bus, somehow along the way my name tag got lost in the mix of things. I was nametagless for a night and a half but good thing my companion is always on top of things and ready to help :) I have been Sister Sprouse all week and the funny thing is there has only been about two people the entire week that has noticed!! A couple days later walking that same path, Sister Sprouse with her hawk eye vision spotted something very dark and black in the middle of gorgeous orange leaves, yup she found Sister Tuschling. Many runners have trompled on it, and bikers rode on it, but she was still there just waiting to be found!!
